SRQ INT’L 2012 PROJECT
“Sarasota’s International Residents Photographed”

MISSION
To photograph as many people as possible that are currently living in Sarasota, Florida that are not from the United States.
(*SRQ is the airport code for Sarasota).

WHY
I came to Sarasota from Kansas City, Missouri on Dec 16th, 2010. My dad was born and raised in this lovely little Sarasota town near the bay, and I wanted to reconnect with my biological roots. Little did I know that my core and every fiber of my being would feel at complete peace being near the water and in the warm sunshine, so I decided to stay. With my extensive travel background of having been to 20 different countries and lived in five, I couldn’t help but notice all the cultures and nationalities around me each and everyday. From Whole Foods grocery store, TJ Maxx, the beach and even my clients… I have realized that Sarasota is a destination hot spot. I can’t help but be drawn to incredible beautiful people from around the world that are all right here in this little town. I not only want to meet more of Sarasota’s diverse population, but this project will declare to others just how multicultural Sarasota really is.
